It looks like some variant of the Model 1858. More detailed photos might help with the identification.

It appears to be a British Beaumont-Adams, first made in the 1850's. This picture is not identical to yours, but there were several different models. Fun facts: A.442 caliber version was bought by the armies of the UK, Holland and Russia. The Union Army bought a bunch in .36 at the beginning of the Civil War. they were popular enough that they forced Sam Colt to shut down his UK operation.
